One Eight Oh PR, a full-service public relations and strategic communications agency, recently welcomed accomplished media professional Joey Panek to its team as creative content director. Most recently, Panek was the executive producer and co-host of Suncoast View for WWSB ABC-7 in Sarasota, Florida. He produced the lifestyle talk show for more than five years, highlighting local businesses, arts organizations and community events. Through the pandemic, he found innovative ways to continue the show’s mission of dynamic local coverage.

At One Eight Oh PR, Panek will lead the firm’s digital marketing and video content efforts, assisting clients with live and on-location video and social media broadcasts, and will spearhead creative engagement communication campaigns. He will continue to serve as a frequent guest host on ABC7’s Suncoast View. “This is an exciting time for a change," Panek says. "Businesses are ready to rethink how they communicate with the communities. It’s a time for brands to embrace creativity and reintroduce themselves to their customer base. I’m thrilled to be a part of the team at One Eight Oh PR and join the momentum they’ve created for their clients."
